It's official, global warming is said to be most likely caused by humans. Some of you fanatics out there might say something along the lines of "I knew it! People are just so discusting, creating pollution.. it's unnatural!". I used to think this way, but since I got more into evolution, I think about this whole global warming thing differently. People are natural, we evolved just like everything else did. Our intelligence evolved greatly aswell, enabling us to create tools much like primates do today. Except, we went several steps further in the fact that we can now create complex things such as computers, and cars and factories, which leads to pollution. This is all a product of our ability to reason and create, so therefore, it's natural. I'm not saying that we should just let pollution continue, for we also have the power to practically change the world and the future from our actions.

Onto a different topic - whether criminals are born "bad" or if this criminal behavior comes from the environment. I was watching the science channel today and it explained that many children with ADD have a tendancy to suddenly burst into violent behavior. The reason for this is because people with ADD probably have a low physical arousal rate aswell, for example a slower heart rate than is normal. Because of this, people with this problem need to be active very often in order for their heart rate to be normal. People with this kind of disorder also have a low activity rate in many parts of their brains, specifically the frontal lobe which is the reasoning and logic part of the brain. Those who like to ask "How can someone hurt an innocent person/animal like that"? now know how. This isn't implying that all criminals are like this, since some obviously include logic in their tactics, but for some people jail time just isn't enough. 0 Comments - Post/view comments
